We're working on fabricating the optics module for the testbed and first light instrument, Mod-Cam!
Eve Vavagiakis, PhD@EveVavagiakis1 Jul 2020
Yesterday I washed the first optics module (OM) cylinders for Mod-Cam, to get them ready for the final welding and machining. The OMs will hold the filters and lenses of the camera. And they’re big! Me for scale.
